Navigation, Lighthouse 1960 - GR


Issued 07, April 1960 - Greece


As i cannot translate greek very well, i can't accurately say whats the object of this commemorative.
But i can say why i love it. I like the way the issue represents a ship struggling to get safe past the storm with a lighthouse guiding in the back, and the other stamp with a(same?) ship under sunny weather, approaching a coastal bay with a rainbow cheering up the scene.

In Portugal we have an old saying "Depois da tempestade, vem a bonança", which could be best translated to "After the storm, always comes a calm" or "In the end, things will mend", so obviously i also pretty much love the order the stamps have been put in this FDC.

I'm not sure what the drawing on the cover is about, but it must have something to do with the issue commemoration.
